Brassai
The person I decided to do my blog on for the week is Brassai, a Hungarian photographer, born in Transylvania. He was born 1899 and died in 1984. A lot of his artwork consisted of images that were taken at nighttime where they depicted extreme contrasts between light and darkness. Many of his light sources in his nighttime photos came from street lights and electrical light present in homes and buildings. He even used weather elements such as fog to depict different values of light and darkness in his photos. I enjoy typical day scenarios and he seemed to focus on things that we're present everyday life. His pictures aren't as simple as they may appear. He does a great deal of focus on different areas that depict different forms of lighting. You can see the highlights and shadows that the lightness and darkness gives off whiles still maintaining a full composition photo. His use of lighting and how he chooses to set up his tripod and camera are unique and captivating in his photos.
